Uh... This may be the most bizarre movie I've ever seen. It's blackly amusing, but not really my style. It's described as a "rom zom": a romantic comedy full of zombies. It's what I consider a trainwreck movie. Once you start watching it, it's hard to stop. In a dark enough mood, I might find it hilarious. At the moment, it's more "Eh?" I suspect it would be much more entertaining at, say, three a.m.

Not relevant to the movie, but a few ads caught my eye. The Shrek 3 preview even got me to unmute the tv. The little I saw/heard suggests that it will be extremely entertaining. I'm not sure if it's a major or minor plot element, but somehow or other Donkey and Puss-in-Boots wind up switching bodies. There was a rather amusing snippet of the donkey with his back curled up, hissing and spitting like a cat.

The other ad was just...weird. A couple sitting on a couch, both hands busy on video game controllers, presumably competing. A hand comes up from the male's—uh, stomach? crotch? It was hard to tell—and picks up a hot dog lying between them, brings it to the male's mouth, and sets it down again. Then a hand comes up from the female's...midsection...and tries to do the same thing, only the male's extra hand attacks it with a hammer. Perhaps if I had unmuted it, this would make some kind of sense. As is, it's actually more disturbing than the movie.
